DIGBOI: A road accident in Digboi's Tingrai resulted in one person being killed instantly. The incident occurred when an over-speeding goods carrier crashed into a tree along National Highway No. 38.
Two other individuals sustained injuries in the accident, which took place around 3 AM, and have been transferred to a hospital.
The deceased has been identified as Jahabaja Hussain, a resident of Ledo, who was driving the vehicle at the time of the crash.
The goods carrier (Bolero), with registration number AS23 DC 2225, was traveling from Digboi to Tinsukia and was empty at the time of the accident.
Meanwhile, earlier this week, a five-member family from Dibrugarh, Assam, sustained critical injuries on Saturday when their vehicle plunged 50 feet into a gorge along National Highway-313 near Anini in Arunachal Pradesh. The accident occurred as the family was returning home from a trip to the area.
The injured are Hitendranath Burhagohain, his wife Rekha Burhagohain, their sons Bedabrata and Debabrata Burhagohain, and daughter-in-law Pramila Singh.
Officials stated that Pramila Singh’s condition was extremely critical, while the others were also receiving intensive medical care.
The vehicle reportedly lost control on a challenging section of the highway. The steep terrain complicated rescue operations, with local authorities and emergency responders working tirelessly to assist the victims and provide medical aid.
